Step through the front door and you are welcomed by a bright entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the house. To the front is a separate reception room featuring a traditional fireplace & surround that forms a natural focal point. This space feels calm and cosy, ideal for quiet evenings and the bay window draws in natural light and adds to the sense of period character, linking the property to its traditional roots.

To the rear, the home opens up into a striking extended kitchen diner and living space that has been designed with modern family life in mind. This large open area looks out over the garden and is filled with light from rooflights above and doors that lead directly outside. The kitchen itself is arranged around a central island with seating, creating a natural place for breakfast, homework or chatting while meals are prepared. There is ample worktop space and storage, along with room for range style cooking appliances, making it both practical and inviting.

The dining area sits comfortably between the kitchen and the living space, allowing for easy hosting and family gatherings.

There is also a great size utility room and downstairs w/c, ideal for busy households.

Up on the first floor are three well proportioned bedrooms along with the house bathroom. Each bedroom offers space for furniture, with two as doubles and one useful as an office or children's bedroom, making them suitable for growing children, guests or working from home. The family bathroom includes a roll top bath and shower overhead, and traditional look toilet & sink, which adds a lovely period touch and creates a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day.

The top floor has been converted to create a principal bedroom suite, giving a sense of privacy away from the rest of the home. This room feels spacious and calm, with room for a large bed and additional furniture. The en-suite shower room is finished in a clean, contemporary style and provides everyday convenience for busy mornings. This level works perfectly for parents wanting their own retreat, or for older children who would value extra independence.

Outside, the large garden is a real highlight. It stretches out behind the house, mainly laid to lawn with patio space near the doors for seating and summer dining. The length of the garden gives children plenty of room to run and play, while still leaving space for planting, vegetable beds or even future landscaping projects. For families who enjoy time outdoors, this garden offers freedom and flexibility. It feels private and secure, bordered by fencing, making it well suited to both young children and pets. The house sits behind a gravelled frontage providing off street parking for multiple vehicles and access to the side of the property, with a garden shed giving practical storage as well as everyday ease.
